"Dad!" Zhu Youning accelerated his pace and ran to Zhu Huating. He was like a kitten covered in mud sneaking out to play, and suddenly threw himself into Zhu Huating's arms.

Perhaps because of his young body, Zhu Youning felt that he had become younger and couldn't help but act coquettishly towards his father, enjoying the feeling of having fatherly love.

Zhu Huating put the lantern on the ground, looked Zhu Youning carefully, then touched her head, but touched the soil all over her hands.

"How did you make this happen to your child? Are you injured?"

"No. But I almost got injured. It was Brother Bei who saved me."

Zhu Youning turned around and smiled at Li Tuobei.

Li Tuobei also smiled and bowed to Zhu Huating and said, "Li Tuobei, I have met Uncle Zhu."

Zhu Huating recognized him as the young man who spoke to his daughter at the clan meeting that day, and stood up and saluted: "It turns out that Mr. Li saved the little girl. Thank you!"

Li Tuobei hurriedly avoided his tribute and said with a smile: "My sister Xiaojiu and I are also connected to each other."

Zhu Huating became even more confused when he heard this. He looked down at his little cat-like daughter and asked, "Fu Ya'er, what's going on? Are you fighting with someone?"

Zhu Youning looked around and said, "Dad, let's talk about it before going home. Get some water for Brother Bei to clean it, otherwise it will be difficult for others to ask."

"good."

Zhu Huating originally wanted to correct his daughter's name for Li Tuobei, but think about it, the two children were seven years old and the other was twelve or thirteen years old, and they all looked very embarrassed, so they must be sharing hardships. It's no big deal to call them like this.

Zhu Huating politely led Li Tuobei home.

After entering the yard and reaching the recess of their rental residence, Zhu Huating first set the fire and used a large pot of hot water to use a large pot.

Zhu Youning washed his hands first, took a clean pottery bowl in front of Li Tuobei, washed it again, and then poured him a bowl of water and brought it over.

"Brother Bei is thirsty? I only have this in my family, don't dislike it."

Li Tuobei smiled heartily, took Tao Wan, raised his neck and drank it clean, and smeared his mouth casually, but because he forgot that his hands were dirty, he wiped his mouth and chin all over.

He didn't care at all and smiled, "You're too polite. I'm in the army... I've lived in the horse hut outside. It's no big deal to pick up the river water and drink it when there is no boiling water."

Zhu Youning smiled and did not delve into the pause of his language just now, but he had some speculations in his mind.

The man who sent Li Tuobei was full of ruffianity but also had a strong figure. At that time, she thought he was a soldier.

What about Li Tuobei? Although he was obviously from a common person and came to the county to study, he was free and casual, and his temperament was flamboyant and unrestrained. He was definitely not like a child who was raised in a deep courtyard.

In addition, he has neat skills at a young age and the calluses on his hands.

It is natural that a noble young man could not hold a farm tool. It is obvious that his cocoon was trained by holding weapons all year round.

In summary, he must have been in the military camp for at least many years: he has a side of being a soldier who is not care about the details, such as bare-handed gnawing sugarcane; but he also has a side of being a soldier who is righteous and free, such as when he is at risk of being broken bones and broken tendons, he catches her at the risk of being smashed at the risk of being broken, and then leaves her first and then returns, and she doesn't care about it without leaving a few encounters.

As for what background he was, Mr. Zhu could only be regarded as a guest of honor, Zhu Youning didn't want to guess.

Zhu Huating burned water at this moment, moved a small stool and sat aside. He first took a wet towel and handed it to Li Tuobei, then took the towel and waved to Zhu Youning over.

Zhu Huating wiped Zhu Youning's face first, then pulled her little hand to wipe it, and asked, "Fuyaer, I heard from the Zhu Lao San family that a group of children came to say harsh words to you in the evening, and then you went out. Why? Did you fight with someone?"

Zhu Youning lowered his head and said, "Dad, I didn't go out to fight. They said that my sixth sister was very annoying to go to the fourth room. They beat her and threw her to the back mountain, and asked me to take my sixth sister back.

"I felt strange from the beginning and didn't want to go. But I was worried that something happened to my sixth sister, so I had to go.

"Who knew that Sister Liu was with them, deliberately sitting opposite the trap and pretending to cry to lure me over. As soon as I passed, I fell into the trap.

"The hole is very deep. If Brother Bei hadn't been hurt by them and he caught me at the bottom of the pit, I might have fallen to death."

Zhu Huating's hand trembled, "Are you talking about the pit in the back mountain? That hole has been killed by someone. Later, because he was afraid that something would happen to someone there, the Zhu family specially put a sign next to it to remind passers-by that there was a hole there."

"When I went there, I didn't see the sign. They spread the hole with branches and fallen leaves. I didn't see anything unusual. As soon as I stepped on it, the branches broke with a crack."

"My child! I really want to thank Mr. Li." Zhu Huating stood up, swept Li Tuobei again, bent down deeply and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for saving your life."

"Oh, Uncle Zhu, don't be so polite. I'm just making a big deal. Just don't think I'm abrupt and sister Xiaojiu."

"Where do you think."

Zhu Huating sighed and asked Zhu Youning again: "Fuyaer, do you think your sixth sister is with them?"

"Yeah." Zhu Youning carefully said everything that had just happened, and even the ones she heard in the fourth room did not miss it.

She didn't want to hit her father, but she wanted her father to see the faces of those people clearly so that he would not be deceived in the future.

When Zhu Huating heard this, he was silent for a long time.

At this time, the water in the big pot boiled. He brought a large wooden basin, fed water and mixed it with warm water, and then took soap beans, towels and handkerchiefs, and smiled and said, "Young Master Li washes first, let's go out first."

Li Tuobei knew that the two of them had something to say, so he smiled and nodded: "Thank you Uncle Zhu."

Zhu Huating smiled and said no, and when he went out, he carefully closed the door for Li Tuobei, then pulled Zhu Youning to the yard and lowered his voice: "Fuya'er, don't be so reckless in the future. No matter who happens to you in the future, don't go rashly."

Zhu Youning also whispered: "I thought that although Aunt Jiang was not a good person, Sister Liu was not born by my mother and did not kiss me, she was the daughter of her father. I couldn't see her having something wrong. I didn't expect that she would actually harm me in order to get along with the people in the fourth room."

Zhu Huating sighed and hugged Zhu Youning in his arms.
